All of them held professional positions which required secondary or higher education. All of them started in entry level jobs and went on to be promoted to administrative level positions. Positions which IMHO were and still are honorable and much needed.
You on the other hand, are a security guard. Such a job requires very little if any measurable training. It’s an entry level dead end job. I don’t consider that a respectable profession. No wonder you so seem bitter.
On the other hand you are going to college to prepare yourself for a position in the IT field, yet you claim that you may not pursue a position in that field once you graduate. That sure seems stupid to me. What are your plans after that? Do you intend to waste more time educating yourself for a position you aren’t interested in pursuing?
My advice to you would be to stop putting down on others for their chosen career paths because you are unsuccessful in yours. Instead, try to move ahead on your own merits and throw the bitterness in the trash we’re it belongs.
Well first off, I don't remember putting down anyone's career path. I was just pointing out the facts that Fauci has been a career politician and I find it funny that people think he's a real doctor because he has a Dr. as his title. Dr. OZ, Dr. Phil have a Dr. as their title but I wouldn't take anything from those guys seriously just like I can't take Fauci seriously.
Secondly, you know little about me nor my past professional history nor what I might want to do with this second degree in IT. While everything was in lock down from COVID, I could have sat idle and collect unemployment - it would have been the better choice if we just go by dollar signs but that's no me. I made a conscience decision to go back to school while everything else was locked down. I grabbed a part time gig at Walmart and took them up on all the benefits that I could - biggest one for me is letting them pay for my schooling.
I have no regrets (so far) in my decision. I'll milk them for every dime they are willing to give me.
You made the assumption that I will not pursue a position in IT once I get that diploma. You made the assumption that I've been unsuccessful in my past professional career. Both are false.
If you're interested in my past accomplishments throughout my professional life to date, you can look up my resume on Linkedin and/or Indeed and/or Google by searching for Craig Christopherson (although the resumes are probably a couple years old).
It's all public information. You could do a Google search with my name on patents & publications and all that stuff. Again, it's all public information. I have nothing to prove to anyone. Do these accomplishment make me a better person than the high school kid pushing carts at Walmart? Nope.
